Amtrak sucks

Joe Biden unveiled a $1.3 Billion plan to “stimulate/save” Amtrak which he calls a “national treasure”.   Have you ever considered taking Amtrak for a trip?   Sounds like fun until you look into it.  It’s just as slow as driving.   There are no Bullet Trains like France and Japan. I’ve been on the one in [...]

Read my lips

In the State of the Union this week, President Obama said that people making over $250,000 would not see their taxes increases by one dime.
Obama’s new budget proposal is going to reduce the home mortgage interest deduction on people who make over $208,850.
From US News:

Households paying income taxes at the 33% [...]

Congress out of touch again

Did anyone at all notice that Congress once again decided not to block their annual cost of living pay raise? I have not seen this on a single news channel.  Members of Congress will all receive an automatic $4700 “cost of living” pay raise.  How many of you are getting a “cost of living” pay [...]

Sound familiar?

I was watching NatGeo on tv Tuesday night and there was a show about the Great Wall of China.   Turns out, the Ming Dynasty completely collapsed under crushing debt after going broke building the wall.  It was a great, shovel-ready jobs program that created tons of jobs but failed to stimulate their economy.

Obama scores points with conservatives

Barack Obama, still showing the uncanny political skills that got him elected, has come out opposed to the “Fairness Doctrine”. He scores big points with me for protecting free speech and having some semblance of common sense. As I have said all along, Obama will get fair treatment and praise from [...]

Be careful what you wish for

Meet Julie and Hilary Goodridge.

They were part of the seven gay couples to sue the State of Massachusetts over gay marriage which led to the Massachusetts Supreme Court creating a right that did not exist in the MA Constitution and imposing it against the will of the people.
So guess what happened?  Yup, they are getting [...]

Juice squeezed

Only OJ Simpson could go to jail for trying to trying to steal his own stuff.  I’m not really sure it should be illegal to try and get back something that was stolen from you, even if you use a gun to do it, but I’m not gonna lose any sleep over this conviction.
Enjoy your [...]

NASA to outsource space program to India

After taking over the customer service and programming industries in America with poor quality and below market rates, India is now looking to provide the same quality service with their space program. India landed their first moon probe at an astounding 3100 mph. Needless to say the probe crashed and couldn’t be saved [...]

Obama has nothing

After listening to McCain’s specific plan to regulate the financial institutions, I listened to Obama’s “plan”.   It was ridiculous.  He spoke in platitudes that said absolutely nothing.
This is what I heard:
we need to     blah blah blah Fluff
we need a bi-partisan plan     blah blah blah
people suffering blah blah blah
crisis    blah blah blah
swift serious action   blah blah [...]

The Pickens Plan

If you’re like me you are intrigued by the Pickens Plan but don’t know what to make of this oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens trying to get us off foreign oil. What is his agenda? Is this some ploy for him to get richer at our expense? And what’s with the first initial [...]
